Does anyone else here make use of the Amazon wishlist feature?
I have a number of items on it that I might want to buy and so keep an eye on the prices.
I've noticed an interesting pattern develop. It seems to me that soon (a number of days) after I add my item to the wishlist there is a very big discount indeed. But that discount soon vanishes and the item stays at a much higher though variable price for a long time after that, sometimes discounted, but most often not going as low as before.
What I'm wondering is whether this is just chance, or whether the discounts on the wishlist are actually personally tailored to you as it were, so that soon after you add them you see a big discount to tempt you?
An example - A BenQ 4k monitor that was listed at 454, very soon afterwards went to 300 then straight back up 454 where it has stayed since.

I've got separate lists for books, Blu-rays, CDs, and more.

Seen reports of prices varying depending on what device you use to browse with too, use an Apple Mac or an iPad and prices are higher than browsing via a cheap pay as you go phone or any other crappie device.
Add stuff to your basket and leave it there a couple of days and price usually drops too.

Yes, I use the eBay wish list, too. Amazon have price algorithms depending on stock and demand, I'm not surprised if it uses wish lists in its calculations.
